• Capt. Bob's Conquer the Job Interview CD/DVD    (normally priced at $56.95 with shipping & handling)

 This program has helped over 2,200 candidates get their dream job.  Capt Bob will prepare you for the most misunderstood and least prepared for portion of the testing process.  There are candidates with great credentials who can't present the package at the interview.  If you can't present the package, you don't get the job.  Never, ever.  Capt Bob will discuss skills and methods that can truly catapult your interview skills.  You may spot the one big "nugget" you are missing in your presentation.  Think of it – you may be too close to see your own gold mine!

The "Nugget Principle" enables applicants to personalize their presentations to separate them from the "clone" candidates.  No one else can tell your story.  Once you start lacing answers with your personal life experiences, no matter if they aren't fire department related, is where you start creating the magic.   

Here are just some of the powerful comments successful candidates who used this program have made:

o "I saw immediately the mistakes I was making."

o "One 'nugget' paid for the whole program."

o "It was the 'nuggets' that got me the job."

o "You gave me the 'nuggets.'  I nailed my next interview and got the job."

o "It was the best money I have spent on gaining a career."

o "The tape series has helped build up my self-confidence and keep me motivated."

 The following are comments from successful candidates who have used the "nugget" principle:

o "I wanted to write this letter in regards to your interview nuggets. I recently had interviews with large career county fire departments.  Last week, I received a phone call from the Chief of a department offering me a position in the upcoming fire academy class.  Your nuggets were a Godsend! Thank you so much! They made a believer out of me and I recommend your program to anyone who has an upcoming interview."

o "I just wanted to thank you for all your help with your CD/DVD program. I put in countless hours perfecting my nugget answers and was still amazed at how easily they flowed when I was asked the questions by my interviewers.   Thank you so much!"  

o "Capt. Bob – thank you a thousand times over!  I finally got the call on July 21^st and start recruit school on September 7^th !  I know that I owe it all to your program. With it, I didn't give any clones answers and ended up number two on the hiring list. That is more proof that your program really works. I know I was giving clone answers until I got your product.  With it, I saw the mistakes, corrected them, and nailed my interview. Thank you again!"  Michael C.

• Capt Bob Smith's It's Your Turn in the Hot Seat CD  (normally priced at $36.95 with shipping & handling)

Here's how the "It's Your Turn in the Hot Seat" CD program was created.  During two live seminars the candidates volunteered to sit in the "hot seat" not knowing in advance what the next oral board question would be.  Everyone quickly learned what they thought was prepared and unique fell short of getting top scores, especially those candidates who volunteered to give it their best shot. You won't believe what these, I thought I was ready, candidates said! This also applied to many in the packed room who gave their .02 cents as the questions were opened up to the attendees.

You've spent time, money and put your life on hold to gain the necessary education and experience to become a firefighter. Your oral board will determine the future. It's game day. You have around 20 minutes to stun the oral board into giving you the opportunity to ride big red. Are you ready to sit in the hot seat and see what you've got?
Keep in mind too that in a 20-minute interview you will have about 5-6 questions and answers. One candidate who arrived late at the seminar leaped at the opportunity for the next question.  Once he was in the hot seat he was asked the question, "What do you know about our department?"  
The candidate proceeded to give this fast, rapid fire, long endless answer.  It was like he was trying to cram everything in he could think of down to fine details. Just when you though he was coming in for a landing, he touched down and took flight again.  You could see the glaze coming over those in the room (as you would see from an oral board panel) as he continued.  
When he finally ended the first comment from the room was, wasn't that answer too long?  The attendees saw first hand how these long endless salvo drop answers can start to work against you to the point of overkill, making you sound anal.  Oh, yea this is the guy we want to stick in a station and drive everyone else crazy.
One candidate said he had been told by many other candidates and firefighters to keep answering until they stop you.  Well, put your self in the position of a panel member and you have to stop this guy to get him to shut up. How would you rate them?
If you go endless in your answers, you might get cut off before you got to deliver some of the best stuff.

o Capt. Bob – another success story for your program. I have been testing for the fire service for three years. I am the classic example of someone who had a lot of certificates, including paramedic experience, but could not make it past the oral board. I ordered your oral interview program and prepared my answers to your 30 oral board questions. I scored high on my local department (which happened to be at the top of my wish list) and just found out that I got hired.  The academy starts April 14th.  After years of unsuccessful oral boards, your program gave me the skills I needed to pass and fulfill my dream of becoming a firefighter/paramedic.  Thank you!"
